Possible causes of a self-waking Mac
Authored by: tichat on Jul 31, '07 10:05:49AM

I have exactly the same problem with my G4. I found that only shutting down the light of the room causes the computer to wake from sleep...
Same problem at my mother's house, in another city, with another G4.

I tried to use different surge protected plugs, with no result :/

I take it you're *not* UK based... That's what the ground pin is for :-)
That and preventing major electrical shocks.

Actually, you might want to reverse that. Opening the light to make to wake up the computer makes more sense... ;)

You know, you come to your office, you turn on the lights, your computer wakes up and starts rsync, get mails and stuff... ;) :)
